I was so pleased to see you had chosen a sloth as your first animal to video as they often get a bad press. Please could I put in a plea for a tapir, the one with a plain dark body. You made such an excellent job of the sloth and made your instruction very clear and easy to follow. As I am a complete novice I think I should start with somethink a little simpler but you have given me something to aspire to. Thank you, Carol UK
Amazing tutorial! Loved it 😀 really easy to follow your instructions interspersed with humour - made me smile. Looking forward to your next one. Thank you 👍❤️
That was an amazing first tutorial! I look forward to finding your other tutorials. I would love to see an English Mastiff or Bengal cat tutorial! Thank you! I hope your friends get out safely!
Great job. I love the sloths. I’m going to do him next. I did a game with my girlfriend and discovered that the sloths is my spirit animal. I knew there was a reason I loved them. Your also a great teacher. Do you think you would make a bigger one? Thanksagain
So cute! Thank for taking the time to explain all of the steps to us. I'm a self-taught wool felter and this is the first time I've seen the armature method. Extra points for using the word armature! SAT word. Anyways, I'm always up for learning new ways to do things. You know, I've been using merino wool for my entire projects (e.g., mini cats and birds). I should invest in the core wool! Anyways, I love sloths because they fit my personality. This is the best of both worlds. Now if only you made a video about procrastination! ;)
Wonderful! Could you show how to do a realistic bird feather? My son has a sun conure and I would love to make a felted one for Christmas for him but I don't know how to make realistic feathers.
I'd love to know what that brownish/yellowish square is that he's using on top of the foam. Is it just to make the sloth show up or as a protector for the foam?
Hi! so helpful. but never done the wire work before so I have question. When poking, the wire doesn't bother? even the wool layers keep thicker inside wire part does not bother? or do I have to just poke the wool part? Thank you very much
MC-1 Wool is a merino cross breed, short staple length, 25micron and available exclusively from Living Felt. You can get it here: feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/MC-1-Felting-Batts-25-microns_c_4.html
Amazing! It would help a lot if you could upload the video in normal speed as well. It's to fast to see exactly what's going on for a beginner. Thank you!
Hi Penelope! Yes, wool felts because of the barbs on the shafts of the fibers, and wool is able to be sculpted with needles because of the barbs on both the needles and the wool...isn't it wonderful? :) Teachers won't think to cover that basic premise for every lesson....perhaps the way a baker may not cover how yeast or soda affects bread on every cooking lesson. But we are glad you know about it :) Once people hear it once, they get it -- so it is understandable not to mention it in every tutorial.

Thank you .I really enjoyed the tutorial, I would love to learn your techniques for your realistic song birds.
guitarik I'm so glad you liked it! I plan on doing a bird tutorial sometime in the near future.
Thank you for this tutorial, looking forward to making one.
You're welcome! Let me know if you have any questions!
This was a wonderful video! I'm making my first sloth as we speak!
I hope I can make this little sloth sometime. I have the perfect ladder hanging up for him to climb.
☺️
Fantastic Tutorial. Thank You.
I'd love to know what that brownish/yellowish square is that he's using on top of the foam. Is it just to make the sloth show up or as a protector for the foam?
He puts a piece of wool felt on to of the foam: feltingsupplies.livingfelt.com/Wool-Felt-8x12-Sheets_c_107.html
Love this!! I can't wait to watch more of your videos. I would love to see you make a long-haired cat. Or any cat. Oh, and your shirt is adorbs.
🤣 I'm glad you noticed my sloth shirt! And thank you so much! I do eventually need to make a cat video.
Armatures are a key element - could you do a normal timed version about construction alone?
Great instructions and demo. Look forward to more of your work. Think I'd hang mine from my key holder. :-)
Wow such a great result
Thanks for the sloth tutorial. I would love to see a hippo tutorial in the future. :)
Really great tutorial, so clear
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I would love to see mice and an owl.
Can't wait to give this a try!
Absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you so much, sir!!!! 👍
Love it! Have you made other videoS?
thank you so much for a great tutorial
sixr2762 You're welcome! Glad you like it!
Hi! so helpful. but never done the wire work before so I have question.
When poking, the wire doesn't bother? even the wool layers keep thicker inside wire part does not bother? or do I have to just poke the wool part?
Thank you very much
Yes Choi...take care to only poke the wool :) You can vary the angle of your needle and control it to avoid the wire.
Pls make more tutorials I love how you explanation thanks to share your skills
This is amazing! Thanks!!!
Thank you. I have not used glue on an armature before.
You're welcome! Yeah, I started using a bit of glue because otherwise the wool slides around on the wire.
That was great! I'm definitely try this.
Thanks that was really helpful you make it look so easy !
I can't wait to get started on my own sloth
Have fun! Feel free to ask me any questions that come up!
Aw, what a cutie! Can't wait to get started!
Di McLeod Have fun!
Awesome! Easy instructions. Thank you!
Fabulous thanks for the instructions. How about a Koala. Would love to see that.
What is MC1 wool? I haven't been able to find what that means? Is it Merino? Correidale?

Would needle be damaged by glue?
Working on one now!
This was very helpful, thank you!
Glad to hear it!
Can you use the body shape for an organgatan?
Omg. May I please buy it from you?
How about a Bat? I would love to see your remarkable interpretation.
Love your work. Please do a bird with open wings. Thank you
Hi Pamela, Kiyoshi has a speed version of his open wings on his channel :)
Yes I know, That is where I first saw his work. Found it difficult to watch. Even slowed down it was too fast!
I want to have an go at doing an sloth now.
Go for it!
adorable!
Precioso!!!
Would like to see the lynx and the tiger!!
Donna, he has a fast version of the links on his youtube channel :) check it out!
PERFECT!!!
i would love to make skunk thank you
Amazing!
It would help a lot if you could upload the video in normal speed as well. It's to fast to see exactly what's going on for a beginner.
Thank you!
...also, it would be great if it were uncut, that way we can make the project alongside the video and study the details of making it.
Cheers!
Great*
Gracias!!!! Ojalá se le pusieran subtítulos para nosotros los de habla hispana ;)
Sorry! I will try!
How about a skunk?

...because wool felting needles are BARBED, Why is this never mentioned?!

That big black "censored" block is ridiculous. It's her tail for goodness sake!
thats what makes it funny :) its just a joke :) :)
LivingFelt I guess I thought it was some YT shenannigan. They are doing a lot of crazy things these days.
haha :)
I loved it. Made me smile. :)
It made me laugh too
